Have you had to get stronger glasses as time has gone by?
It's cataract surgery time

No, but it’s only been 2 years since I had the procedure.

I have a friend who developed annoying "halos" after getting the upgraded lenses (not sure which she went with). Apparently they'll never go away - she's investigating options, but is not happy she spent a bunch of money and got that outcome. She's in the minority though, developing that issue. It's not common, but it's not unheard of, either

Yes, you can get just the one removed.

The $3750 lens will give you halos around taillights. It says so right in the chart. I wouldn't go for that.

How was the surgery? Did you have a lot of pain after that? I am trying to research information about different medicines on online pharmacy website and would appreciate your feedback on this topic. I will be having my surgery in three months from now and a little worry that i gonna be staying long at home after that. IS there something i gonna need to prepare in advance? Some necessary meds etc?

I consider the cataract surgery to be one of the greatest gifts of my lifetime. I was functionally blind in one eye when they did my first surgery when I was 41. It was like trying to look through a shot glass that had been smeared with Vaseline jelly. The military did it for me (I was active duty). I woke up with 20/28 vision in an eye that could really only see movement and whether it was day or night.
I wore a contact lens in my non-surgery eye secretly praying for a cataract in my left eye that was still 20/400. 20 years later I got my wish and they removed the cataract in my left eye. Because I served 23 years in the army on active duty, the military again came through and did the surgery. I am 73 years old now and only use the drug store readers for when I have to read labels on things.
I don't know your financial status, but I am beyond grateful for my vision every day. I can still drive at night, I can read a paper back book even without readers. I see the world.
I would say do what you can to get things to be a good as you can.
Best of luck to you.
